XAO Just Dropped Like A Stone

[divs4ever]

the correct ones ??

often seems the ones i wait months for , continue to elude me

not as bad as it sounds , sometimes the compromise choice does OK for me

Self-fulfilling market action. Totally illogical, but we know the market moves on emotions not commonsense.

Seems the bankruptcy of Silvergate bank has startled the timid deer feeding in the field of dreams.

@divs4ever Don't worry, prices will go lower for you.

Indeed @divs4ever

A visit to the library and some research on those who tried to pick the bottom after the collapse of The Tulip Boom may be instructive.

I am told European governments are beginning to attempt to regulate tulips, sorry crypto. Always a bad sign especially when there is a blooming war in it’s Eastern members.

from what i read looks like Europe is trying to self-deregulate ( or is that self-mutilate )

anyway they no longer have to worry about Chinese investors , the Chinese investors are flocking to Africa , looking for sensible investment domiciles ( and of course Russian investors are forbidden as well , in the EU )

i wonder how long Russia will troll the EU with hints of repairing Nordstream

The Silvergate™ banking platform is as innovative as the entrepreneurs we serve.​

as Is the Silicon Valley Bank .

And both in deep doo-doo, it would seem.

Rats like Peter Thiel are saying " Run for the hills".

Not touching it with a bargepole... yet.

Love your line..."when the rabbit dies the fox grieves for fear it would be next"

.... and this is what happens when RBA lifts cash rate on a DOWN day.

what rhymes with repeat?

....ASX likely to open down 100 points today... closer n closer to 7000?

The ASX 200 tends to bounce in October. Will this year be any different?​

Seasonality moves in favour of bulls in the fourth quarter. October has the tendency to mark the seasonal low for the ASX 200, ahead of the well-documented Santa Claus rally.

www.marketindex.com.au

am still laughing too hard to read it all closely

but contains pearlers like **
There are only three Octobers where the ASX 200 fell more than 5%.

Two were relatively obvious: the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 (-10.7%) and the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 (-11.9%). But then there's 2018.

The ASX 200 marked its worst monthly fall in more than two years in October 2018, down 6.1%. ***

as if many weren't startled by September's fall ( of less than 5% ) shedding only roughly 300 points

 

[Dona Ferentes]

dropped at open = unfortunate.
RBA held cash rate at 2:30 = not careless

.
as low as 7107 in the a.m.

EDIT ... just noticed the date stamp... its the 03 Oct, a Tuesday. Grrr comsec.

 

[divs4ever]

they are not wrong about their glitches

 

[Dona Ferentes]

a common daily set of moves, it would seem, for our indexes.

 

[Dona Ferentes]

stairs and elevators... 2 per cent drop today


.
Has done well to get in the 8's ... but storm clouds and headwinds a-plenty

Did I miss something this morning?



Must be US Stock Futures.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

It's the old story @Sean K , do I add picking up a bargain, or will it fall further ?

Must be ...

... a sucker's rally (last week) ?

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

Some of the prices are tempting e.g BHP is now paying a 5% ff dividend and is just on 25% down from it's recent peak. Let us hope the mortgages in Toorak become too much to bear this afternoon.

I'm tempted to clear the cobwebs from my CDIA account with CBA and buy something. Not necessarily BHP, it may fall further. Cu is on the nose atm. Fe may go with China. Too much info for this simple soul.

Any other bargains about?

Can we make an assessment this afternoon after the Chinese markets open? Japan has gone bonkers, down a lot. Premarket tonight red across the board. Would it be safer to wait till the much anticipated 'liberation day', which is only 2 days away?

What's wrong with me???? I ask myself...I don't know, the devil replies.

With only 30% in stocks, i used the falls to add a few packets mqg, food, etc etc

I've already topped up the last week or two. Too early by the looks. But, ready to add some more IOZ and VGS if it keeps going.
